Our Verdict

Epson Lifestudio Pop Plus

Epson Lifestudio Flex Plus

The Epson Lifestudio Flex Plus is slightly better than the Epson Lifestudio Pop Plus overall, but the difference isn't huge. The Flex Plus gets a bit brighter and has slightly better contrast for a slight advantage for picture quality. The Flex Plus also has a built-in two-axis swivel stand, which makes it easier to aim without extra hardware. That said, the Pop Plus is more accurate out of the box, much smaller and lighter, and it has a 1/4-inch tripod mount, so it's easier to mount on a common tripod or stand.
